According to the story, this couple had a fight
Which in turn escalated to assault, on a Saturday night
The assailant tied up his victim in order for her to stay
Fortunately after many hours she was able to get away
The events that this man started must have enraged him even more
Who knows what his mindset was when he proceeded out that door
This man was deeply troubled, but still he knew what to do
Before this night was over, he would murder twenty two
These homicides were in no way random, this man had thought things through
He was well aware of the circumstances and knew just what he had to do
He had a Mountie uniform and a car that fit the bill
This man was out for vengeance, he was out to kill
He ended up shooting random people that got in his way
In reality he had a list of people that he was out to slay
Each location that he attended was methodically put to flame
It was so businesslike, to him, this was no game
I think this man was so arrogant, he thought he would survive
But like so many crime story endings, he didn’t come out alive
When he stopped to fill up his car, things didn’t go according to plan
He met up with some real Mounties, and yes they got their man
So many senseless killings of innocent people were performed
Some say more lives would have been saved if the public was better informed
There will always be the controversy on how this incident was done
Who would have thought the girlfriend he assaulted would be one of the lucky ones
